Quilted Paper Art is Back!!

We thought it would be nice to add one more pattern to our Quilted Paper Art pattern collection.  With Easter just around the corner, we chose to create an oval-shaped pattern.  If you're new to our blog and haven't seen our other samples, you can click here to view the original post and other ideas here and here .

 

This card was kept simple but elegant.  You can see that we chose to use the oval shape as an egg.  We used four soft colors - Pretty In Pink. So Saffron, Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue.  Of course, you do not have to use this many colors. 

 

To purchase this oval shaped pattern for only $.99, please use the Paypal Button below.  Remember, this is just for the oval pattern.

If you have not purchased the Quilted Paper Art tutorial for only $3.95 and would like to, please use the Paypal button below.  We will email you the tutorial within 24 to 48 hours after receiving your money.

Don't forget, this pattern can be used for multiple projects, not just Easter Eggs.  Be sure to watch for more samples in the future. 

Thanks for stopping!  Melissa and Gayla

Heart-Shaped Pin Cushion

We created an adorable heart pin cushion with some of the mini heart tins we have for sale on Two Paper Divas.  This little tin was covered with Stampin' Up's Love Impressions Designer Series Paper, crocheted lace trim, 1/8" ribbon and Baker's Twine.  The pin cushion is covered with white fleece and embellished with a small red button.  We found red pins that really complete this project.

 

How fun are these and they are created like our Cupcake Pin Cushions that can be found here or the tutorial can be found here.

 

Thanks for stopping.  Come back and see us real soon!!

12 x 12 Holiday Lounge Album "Remake"

The tutorial used for this project is called Holiday Lounge Photo album but only because at the time that's the paper we used.  The photos of this project will give you a better idea of how fun and versatile this album can be with using just two 12x12 sheets of designer series paper for the actual album covers.

This was created by Melissa for her grandson, Jett's, first birthday party. The first picture shows you how the album looks open, displaying the four tabbed pages that pull out for more photos.

 

Next, are the first two pages.  Melissa took the invitation her daughter had made for the party and placed it on the inside of the first page.  Page 2 also has one of the embellishments that was attached to the invitation.

 

 Pages 3 & 4

 

Pages 5 & 6

 

And here is a picture of the album from the top.

 

Supplies:

• Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight and Certainly Celery card stock
• Retired DSP
• Party Hearty and Cute & Curly (retired) stamp sets
• Punches - Tab, Curly Label & Word Window
• Inks - Black, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Certainly Celery and Daffodil Delight

For this album, the binding was altered by using the jumbo silver brads and adhering the album front and back together with sticky strip.

 

For complete step-by-step instructions for creating the album, use the Paypal button below or visit the original post here. This tutorial can be purchased for just $3.95.

Just think of all the possibilities!

Another Two Pocket Folder Idea!

Here we have made another sample of our two pocket folder, you can find it here, which has been embellished with a library pocket. 

The "To Do List" list fits in the pocket and creates a fun embellishment for the front of this folder.

These next ideas are ones we shared earlier with you that also used the library pocket as an embellishment.  The little bag is an idea we also shared and you can find step-by-step instructions here.

You can change the embellishment on the front of these bags and change the whole look.  You could also fill these pockets with other goodies! 

Thanks for stopping and shopping with us!

Take Two Tuesday - Wine Charm Beads

So, today we are thinking ahead to Valentine's Day and created these wine charms for a pair of wine glasses.

 
We used a couple of red paper beads along with pearls and heart charms.  What a fun idea for Valentine's Day, an anniversary, weddings, showers, etc.  Of course, wine charms can be made for any occasion.

 

If you still haven't purchased the Scissor Charm tutorial that shows you step-by-step instructions for making these paper beads as well as the scissor charm.  The cost is only $1.95 and you can use the Paypal button below.  We have shared several ideas throughout the month on fun ways to use these beads.  Don't forget, these would be great embellishing your cards, scrapbook pages or recipes as well.  They aren't just made for projects.

A special addtion to our Take Two Tuesdays...

So we got over ambitious and created an extra project using the paper beads.  We made a very cute embellishments using accessories from the "old" Pretties kit.  We used a hat pin and some of the clear beads.  We love this simple pin added to the 1-1/4" striped grosgrain ribbon.

 

This stick pin can be used in so many ways; it doesn't have to be added to just ribbon.  Many add these embellishments to cards, scrapbook pages, gift bags or even used on a hat, coat, sweater, etc.

 

Tuesday is our very last Take Two Tuesday.  We will be sharing new and creative ways of paper crafting next year.  We'll keep you posted what you will be seeing next!

Take Two Tuesday - Paper Bead Necklace

It's that time again....so, here's another paper bead idea.

 

As you can see, we enlarged the pattern and made a jumbo bead which we used on a necklace.  We love the Love Letter DSP and thought it made a great single, jumbo bead.  We cut another jumbo bead in pieces to use on each side of the jumbo bead necklace.

 

Don't forget to check out next Tuesday for one more idea!  Melissa and Gayla

Take Two Tuesday - Paper Bead Bracelet

The beads for this bracelet were made using a piece of printer/copy paper and randomly stamped with a solid flower stamp.

 
Your paper would look something like this below.  Notice, we stamped right on top of our pattern.

 
However, once you cut and roll the beads, they take on a whole different look!

This photo shows two methods; the one mentioned above and one using Designer Series Paper.

 
Hope you enjoyed seeing one more idea to use these paper beads.  This is a great project to make at a girl's birthday party, club, etc.  Don't forget, you can still purchase the tutorial for only $1.95 which will show you how to make our original Scissor Charms.
